The Sexual Life of Catherine M.

The New York Times and national best-seller hailed as "brilliantly literate, utterly unabashed....consistently provocative" (The Philadelphia Inquirer) and "shamelessly trashy...excellent" (Jane), The Sexual Life of Catherine M. was the controversial sleeper hit of the year--a candid, powerful, and deeply intelligent depiction of unfettered sexuality. Since her youth, Catherine Millet, the eminent editor of Art Press, has led an extraordinarily active and free sexual life--from al fresco encounters in Italy to a gang bang on the edge of the Bois du Boulogne to a high-class orgy at a chichi Parisian restaurant. A graphic account of a life of physical gratification and a relentlessly hones look at the consequences, both liberating and otherwise, of sex stripped of sentiment, The Sexual Life of Catherine M. is "truly a masterpiece of sexual exploration [that] will be a classic" (The Hartford Courant).
